Exciting Premier League Matchups: Newcastle’s Barnes ready to fill in for Gordon

Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes is ready to step up and fill in for the suspended Anthony Gordon in their upcoming match against Everton. Barnes, who scored twice off the bench in their thrilling 4-3 win against West Ham, is poised to make just his third start since his £50m move from Leicester.

The 26-year-old has had a challenging debut season at Newcastle, with a mid-season foot injury hampering his progress. However, Barnes has a history of scoring against Everton in the last two seasons, making him a strong candidate to lead the line in Gordon’s absence.

Meanwhile, Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz has been in red-hot form, scoring eight goals in his last eight games since the arrival of Armando Broja from Chelsea. Fulham will face Nottingham Forest, who are struggling to find their form, making it a crucial game for both teams.

In another exciting matchup, Burnley will take on Wolves with a newfound sense of belief after a three-game unbeaten run. Arijanet Muric’s return to the starting lineup has boosted Burnley’s spirits, and they will look to capitalize on Wolves’ injury woes.

Elsewhere, Dominic Solanke is making a strong case for the golden boot, sitting joint second in the Premier League scoring charts with 16 goals. Bournemouth will face Crystal Palace, who have struggled defensively, giving Solanke an opportunity to further his goal-scoring tally.

As the Premier League title race heats up, Manchester City will face a tough test against Aston Villa, while Liverpool will look to maintain their momentum against Sheffield United. Chelsea’s Mason Mount will aim to make an impact against his former club Manchester United in what promises to be an exciting mid-week round of fixtures.
